BTW, I am so loving your avatar! Your High Flyer looks so beautiful with her perfect curls:)
Thank you. It's my childhood one that I recently fixed.:-)

I think I'll stick with these original shoes even if they lost the colour a bit. I bought Flashprance from someone that sold their childhood ponies and I think the shoes should stay with their original outfit. It probably would have been worse if they had been red. It's not that noticeable when they're yellow.
I'll try and add baking soda to the cat litter in the plastic bag and put them there again. That's the combination I had for my smoke smelling pony, which was cured and almost regained a bit of pony smell instead.

Thanks. Yes, I've already seen some of these shoes for sale and I need to get that fourth leg warmer too.

I was thinking that the yellow in the bowl could have been the nicotine but they do look a bit faded. It's not the end of the world but it is annoying.
I've been thinking of washing the clothes but I was worried about the colours of the outfit bleeding since it has so many vibrant colours. I think most of the smoke smell is gone though, if not, I'll try and wash it.

Awww, Baby Gusty! She looks really nice too.  I actually gasped as I scrolled down to see her. I just bid on and won a lot of ponies with her in it myself, but I don't know the actual condition of her since there were few and poor pictures. Mine might have had a tail trim, don't know yet. But, yours look lovely. Congrats! Actually, I think I bid on your Baby Gusty too, you said two of them were up some weeks ago, sounds familiar. Did you buy the one that came with the comb?

The light pink saddle is from the Show Stable. The plumbed bridle is from Parade Pizzazz. The purple saddle and bridle is probably from the Pretty Parlour. The pink and polka dotted outfit is the overall from the pocket pal outfits Bunnysuit and Overalls. The red outfit on the right is also a pocket pal outfit, it's the jumper from Jumper and Snowsuit that came with a cat pocket pal. The dark pink saddle should be from Best of the West or Great Skates, looks more like the Great Skates saddle but I have never seen these IRL so I'm not sure. The purple shoe looks like it could be from the Sweetness and Lace outfit. The pink bonnet to the right in the second photo must be Baby Cuddle's from the Baby Buggy. The skate is probably from Snow Angles. There's a skating outfit for Megan and Sundance too, Ice Princesses, but I think those skates look a bit different.

I bought the flashprance outfit on ebay a while ago. When I got it I realised that it smelled smoke. I tried putting the whole thing in a plastic bag with cat litter because that worked with Gusty. However, it didn't seem to do that much to the outfit so I also put it outside to air out. The latter seemed to work on the clothes but the shoes pretty much stayed the same. Therefore I decided to soak them in water with a bit of vinegar over night. When I woke up the water was somewhat yellow, I went "no, no, no" and ran to get them out of the water and wash them.:.-/ Well, they have lost some colour and the smell of smoke didn't really go away either. So annoyed. They're still yellow, just not as vibrant as before.:-( So, don't do what I did! Annoying thing number two is that the smoke smell wasn't that bad from the biginning, not as bad as my Gusty. visitors can't see pics , please register or login(Yes, there's one legwarmer missing.) visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginAfter they had dried for a while they regained some of the colour.:-) Still not as yellow as before but not as faded as I first thought either.

Good to meet'cha!
Your avatar is one of your childhood toys, you say? Have you done some kind of restoration on her? She looks fabulous!
Nice to meet you. All I did was clean her plus wash and curl her hair. I was careful with my toys when I was little and my ponies have just been sitting in the Show Stable, in its box, in a basement since I put them away some 20-25 years ago. Even so, they were dirty when I took them out and some had messy hair. The avatar photo is taken with a flash so she looks extra good there. I'll include a before and after photo without flash. ...I'll include some photos of other ponies as well, I love these before and after photos. The MLP curlers I had from the Sweet Dreams outfit and Sprinkles and Duck Soup came in handy. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginI didn't even know she had bangs before I washed her hair. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Yes, I'll definitely have a look at the sales section. That's one of the reasons I joined. Oh, this is so addictive and not too expensive either - at least not yet.

Hi,
I'm in my early thirties and I rediscovered my little ponies (G1) around Christmas on the internet by chance. Shortly after, I dug out my old childhood ones and then I started buying used ones. I'm only interested in G1 ponies as toys but I think Friendship Is Magic is a great tv show. I have come across the MLP Arena when looking up pony info, such as how to clean them, but I didn't join until now.
(That's one of my childhood ponies on the avatar.)
